Temporal Midface Lift, Endoscopic Midface Lift Before and After in Turkey, Antalya

What is a temporal midface lift?

A temporal midface lift is a procedure that lifts the outer brows and midface, creating a more youthful, refreshed look. The incisions are hidden in the hairline, so there are no visible scars. It’s ideal for people who want a subtle lift without a full facelift. The result? A natural, lifted appearance with smoother contours.

Temporal endoscopic midface lift procedure

A temporal endoscopic midface lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts the outer brows and midface using small incisions hidden in the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) guides the surgeon, allowing precise lifting of deeper tissues without large cuts. This technique reduces scarring, speeds up recovery, and creates a natural, youthful look.

First, the surgeon marks the key areas and administers anaesthesia: usually local with sedation or general anaesthesia. Tiny incisions are made within the hairline to keep them hidden.

A small camera (endoscope) is inserted to guide the procedure with precision. The surgeon carefully lifts and repositions the deeper tissues, restoring volume and tightening sagging areas. No unnecessary pulling! Just a natural lift.

Once everything is in place, the incisions are closed with fine sutures or surgical glue. A light bandage may be applied to reduce swelling. That's it: minimal cuts, no visible scars, and a smooth, refreshed look.

Recovery of midface lift

Swelling and bruising? They peak in the first few days, then fade fast. Most people feel comfortable going out in about 10 days.

Pain is usually mild and managed with basic pain relievers. A compression bandage may be used to reduce swelling, and keeping your head elevated speeds up healing.

How long until final results? You'll see improvements quickly, but the real magic happens over a few months as everything settles into place. Once it does, the lift looks smooth, natural, and effortless.

Benefits of temporal midface lift

• Lifts sagging cheeks and restores natural contours.
• Softens deep lines around the nose and mouth.
• Adds volume to the midface for a youthful look.
• Keeps facial expressions natural and balanced.
• Uses small incisions for minimal scarring.
• Recovery is faster compared to a full facelift.
• Reduces under-eye hollowness and tired appearance.
• Results look refreshed, not overly tight or artificial.
• Improves overall facial harmony with long-lasting effects.

Side effects of midface lift

Swelling and bruising? Yes, but they fade within a couple of weeks. Most of the puffiness is gone by day 10, and makeup helps cover any remaining marks.

Pain is usually mild. Over-the-counter pain relievers are enough for most people. Some tightness or numbness may linger for a few weeks but improves as healing progresses.

Scars? Hardly visible. The incisions are hidden in the hairline, making them almost impossible to notice once healed. What about uneven results? Temporary asymmetry can happen but usually evens out as swelling reduces. Think of it like a fresh haircut! It takes a little time to settle.

Serious risks? Rare with a skilled surgeon. Following aftercare instructions makes all the difference. Once healing is complete, the results look natural, lifted, and balanced.

A temporal facelift lifts the outer brows and upper face, creating a fresher look. A mini facelift tightens sagging skin around the jawline and lower face.

Which one? If your brows look heavy, go for a temporal lift. If jowls bother you, a mini facelift is the better choice.

Think of it like adjusting a dress: one lifts the top, the other smooths the bottom. Some even combine both for a balanced, youthful look.

Before and After

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a temporal lift painful?

No, the procedure itself is painless due to anaesthesia. Afterwards, there's mild discomfort, but pain relievers are enough. Cold compresses help reduce swelling and speed up recovery.

Is temporal lift permanent?

No, but results last for years. The ageing process continues, but the lift slows it down. A well-done temporal lift can keep you looking refreshed for 5-10 years.

Does temporal lift change eye shape?

Yes, but subtly. It lifts the outer brows, creating a more open and refreshed look. The eyes may appear slightly elongated or more lifted, but the natural shape remains.

Does temporal lift cheeks?

No, it mainly lifts the outer brows and temples. For cheek lifting, a midface or deep-plane facelift is more effective.
